Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

Seibertron.com member joevill spotted the Transformers Prime Cyberverse Optimus Maximus playset at discount chain Marshalls and was kind enough to snap a pic. Marshalls has the figure priced at $24.99. Looks like Transformers Prime toys are starting to hit the discount stores.

I am going to assume he will show up at TJMaxx eventually for about the same.He looks cool, but I actually like the DOTM Cyberverse playsets better than the Prime ones.I also bet down the road there will be a repack of him with a legion(or 2) or commander class figure

Yep - they're at Ross and TJ Maxx as well. I gots proof. Three of them, at the TJ Maxx in Orem, Utah. It's not just a rumor folks - they're there. Go. Hunt. Buy.

I hope to see some of the TF Prime Cyberverse (scout class) figures there sometime. I wouldn't mind having a few of them, but I'm not prone to shell out $10 a pop. (I'm still used to paying that much for a DELUXE figure, thank you very much).

I agree that there's not much to this. It's essentially a fancy caddy for cyberverse figures. If they can't look good by themselves, what's the point of buying them in the first place?

I'll keep an eye out for deluxes and voyagers. I wouldn't mind a Starscream Voyager maybe, but for the time being I'm happy with my FE Deluxe.

I saw this at TJ Max today as well. I do believe TJ Max is a Marshall's affiliate. Like Checkers/Rallys and Hardys/Carls Jr. Same place different name. I go to a couple of them pretty often and this is the first I've seen any Prime figures there.

Similar note, Kohl's by me has Prime Cyberverse and some RTS and DOTM Deluxes. Just wanted to share.

Man...the Prime toys really do deserve the discount stores to me. I still wish Dark of the Moon had gone longer considering how well the Revenge of the Fallen spin-off lines were done. The Prime stuff just looks like it belongs in a dollar store.

Yeah, this seems to be shelfwarming in every big retailer that sells TFs between Ann Arbor and Detroit. Much as I loved the Metroplex and Micromaster playsets I had in my youth, those all had ramps, balconies, and distinct stations for smaller TFs to man, whereas this big guy's ambition just plain does not match his size; with most of the ports just being random areas hollowed out, he looks flimsy, like Scaffolding-Master Optimus. I believe he'll stay on shelves for years to come to serve as our most tragic reminder of the damage sky-rocketing oil prices have wrought on our sacred plastic. I cannot bash him, for I have never pitied a Transformers toy more than the ironically-named Optimus Maximus.

So yeah, not one bit surprised he's at T.J. Marshalls--er, no, I meant Tuesday Maxx.

Now, all those PRID Vehicon cases going to Aldi's? THAT's still weird over a month later. And last I checked, they were still coming in.

Surely, you mean the Commander figures. The Cyberverse line consists of Legion (legends) and Commander (scout) size classes.

I got Optimus Maximus the first time I saw him at Target for $24.99 I also got Knockout (deluxe) at the same time as it was the first time I had seen him as well. Then the next time I saw OP Max he was up to $30 and now I've seen him for $34.99. Glad I grabbed him way back when, even though I still haven't bothered to open him. If you can get him cheap, go for it. Otherwise he's not really worth it as I doubt we'll ever see it on the show.

You'll also notice the store layout and design is basically the same for TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshall's. Not even sure why they maintain threee brands since there's no real difference.

For sale: My entire Transformers and third-party collection. Includes Masterpiece, Generations, Universe, Movie, Prime, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, G1, G2, etc. Quite a few of the Prime, Generations, Masterpiece, and third-party toys have never been opened. Most of those that have were only transformed a few times then kept in a glass display case. Original packaging included for most of the Universe and later era toys.

They have 3 levels of discount pricing, at least on their clothing. One is the "expensive" discount store, one is the "cheap" one, one is in-between. At least that is how my wife explained it to me. I don't recall which is which.

For toys they run about the same prices, but their toy departments exist mainly as a way to quiet whining kids.

As it just so happens, I can ignore this craptacular waste of plastic equally at all three.

Huge pass for me. It would be useless seeing as I do not collect legion figures. I like the commanders but I prefer deluxes, voyagers, ect. The figure just looks kinda hollow. Anyways that a good $20 to $30 I could be using on other things like voyager Hotspot. SW55 out
